SANFORD — Two different camps of candidates vying for three seats on the Lee County Board of Education emerged at Monday’s Public Policy luncheon: those looking to continue on the board’s current path

and those wanting change. The candidates introduced themselves and presented their points at the luncheon’s debate, sponsored by the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce, in preparation for the May 4 election. Former school board candidates Mark Akinosho and

Kim Lilley and new candidates Shannon Gurwitch and Dana Atkins all said they would like to see greater parent involvement in education, improving the district’s graduation rate and reinstating teacher assistants.

SANFORD — The City of Sanford on Friday spent more than $93,000 to remove several years-worth of swept-up debris from its compost facility after the state said it could no longer be dumped there. But the problem with the large expenditure, according to some members of the Sanford City Council, was that nobody knew about it. Sanford Councilmen Mike Stone and Sam Gaskins and Mayor Cornelia Olive met with City Manager Hal Hegwer behind closed doors Monday to express their concerns with Hegwer’s decision to go through with spending nearly $100,000 without their knowledge. “I’m not 100 percent sure he even needs our approval, but I believe we needed notification,” Gaskins told The Herald Monday, adding that the only reason it was brought to his attention was because Olive noticed hauling trucks near City Hall on Good Friday, a day all city employees had off. “The audit was from Jan. 19, and while I understand the city’s done a good job minimizing the costs for

County OKs Andrews Store Rd. improvements

PITTSBORO — The Chatham County Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution Monday authorizing the N.C. Department of Transportation to fund and construct the widening of a 1.55-mile section of Andrews Store Road in northeastern Chatham. “The commissioners have been concerned about the increased traffic on this stretch of Andrews Store Road to accommodate increasing traffic as the result of new schools in that area,” said Sally Kost, chairman of the Board of Commissioners. “Not only is Briar Chapel Development in this area, but the road also serves Woods Charter School and the new Margaret B. Pollard Middle School scheduled to open this fall.” Briar Chapel Development is making road improvements as required by DOT, including improvements to the intersection of Andrews Store Road and N.C. 15-501 as well as improvements near and around the park and school sites. “Briar Chapel has accelerated these improvements over what is required and we very much appreciate their efforts,” Kost said. The project will involve widening Andrews Store Road to 24 feet, starting at N.C. 15-501 and going west 1.55 miles, almost a half-mile west of Parker Herndon Road. — from staff reports

CHATHAM COUNTY COURTHOUSE

Weekend tributes bring positive atmosphere back to Pittsboro Special to The Herald PITTSBORO — The town was hopping over the weekend ... and merchants were happy. The turnaround was in stark contrast to a very quiet Hillsboro Street in the days following the fire at the historic Chatham County Courthouse the previous week. The uptick started on Saturday during a “Courthouse Tribute” presented by the Circle City Citizens Group. The event was planned to bring visitors downtown and to thank local firefighters and law enforcement who helped save the courthouse. The Pittsboro Merchants Association then hosted its traditional “First Sunday” the following day in downtown Pittsboro. According to Pittsboro Mayor Randy Voller, smiles were all around as the merchants had two big days in a row. “I visited with the owners of Virlies and the City Tap and both were quite pleased with the quality and the volume of business,” he said. The Chatham County Historic Association welcomed numerous visitors at their temporary location on Hillsboro Street. Dozens of residents contributed funds to the CCHA via collections at info tables at Saturdays’ event. Growing concerns about the vitality of the downtown merchants in the wake of the courthouse fire led to a meeting at Voller’s home on March 29. As a result, the Circle City Citizens Group was formed, and the “Courthouse Tribute” idea soon followed. People wanted to talk about the future of Hillsboro Street to Voller, he said. “I heard from many people like former town board member, J.A. Webster, who were excited to see the block closed

PITTSBORO — Short-term locations for superior court sessions and court offices displaced by the recent courthouse fire have been confirmed. Renee Paschal, assistant county manager for Chatham County, said the superior courtroom sessions will be moved to the county’s Agriculture Building Auditorium in Pittsboro. “While the auditorium is used for a wide range of events that will have to be relocated when court is in session, this was the best option for superior court over the next few months,” said Paschal. The District Attorney’s Office will move to 60 West St., formerly offices for the Andrews Law Group. Probation Services will be relocated to 45 West St., an office building next to the General Store Café. Superior Court Judge Allen Baddour will move into

a room in the lower level of the Agriculture Building, just down the hall from the temporary courtroom. Paschal said that the county will continue to search for a more permanent space for superior court until the judicial center is built. “The Agriculture Building will provide a short-term fix of six months or so,” Paschal said. The county also is looking for alternative facilities for meetings and events that had been scheduled for the Agriculture Auditorium, but now conflict with court dates. Chatham County will break ground on a new Judicial Center this fall. The center was planned before the fire in the historic courthouse and will house all court officials and all courtrooms, including superior court sessions. — special to The Herald

Obama must ensure responsible drilling Our View Issue: Last week’s announcement that the federal government will allow expanded drilling off the East Coast

Our stance: The president must establish specific risks factors

From the Hickory Daily Record

P

resident Obama’s decision to allow limited offshore oil drilling has support in Congress, but environmentalists are in an uproar. Obama’s strategy will allow new oil drilling off Virginia’s coast. It would permit drilling 125 miles off Florida’s Gulf Coast if Congress allows a moratorium on exploration to expire. Prohibitions on oil exploration and drilling in the Atlantic, including areas off North Carolina’s coast, could be removed.

U.S. Sen. Richard Burr favors offshore drilling. “The president’s announcement is a step, albeit a small one, toward addressing America’s energy needs,” he said. “If resources off the coast of North Carolina can be produced responsibly, they should be part of the solution.” The key word here is “responsibly.” Heretofore, offshore drilling was considered risky because of the rough waters of the Atlantic, especially off the North Carolina coast. Technology and experience in platform oil production have

lessened the risks, but future drilling must be controlled and a rigid oversight mechanism in place to ensure human safety and ecological preservation. Environmental groups are not convinced. The conservation group Oceana claims that expanding offshore drilling is the wrong direction for U.S. energy policy, because of the climate crisis caused by increased global emissions of carbon dioxide. “We’re appalled that the president is unleashing a wholesale assault on the oceans,” said Oceana senior campaign director Jacque-

line Savitz. “Instead, the U.S. should focus its resources on expanding offshore wind and other renewable energy opportunities.” But Obama has made his decision. We think the administration must establish specific risk factors that would help determine if oil drilling is viable, area by area. Successful production off Virginia’s coast may not apply to areas beyond North Carolina’s shores. In regard to offshore oil drilling, “responsible” has many nuances.

Letters to the Editor What is truly the definition of the word, ‘government’? To the Editor:

Scott Mooneyham Today in North Carolina Scott Mooneyham is a columnist with Capitol Press Association

Under scrutiny

R

ALEIGH — Abraham Lincoln once said that a true test of a person’s character was not adversity but power. Each day, we read of people in Raleigh and Washington who struggle with the test, abusing the political power given them. The testing, though, is hardly confined to state and national capitals. Across North Carolina and across the country, mini-governments known as homeowners associations now dot the landscape. ... State legislators have been increasingly bombarded with complaints about power struggles and abuses within these organizations. It’s a growing problem because as North Carolina grows, more and more neighborhoods come with restrictive covenants. Homeowners associations are created to enforce the covenants and provide for the common needs of residents. ... Typically, an elected board is responsible for management of the association and neighborhood, as well as the collection and assessment of fees and fines. Boards can also place a lien or even foreclose on homes when an owner fails to pay assessments or fines. It’s that power that has led to the worst abuses, horror stories that occasionally hit the newspapers. ... Association boards have a tendency to turn over when residents fail to understand that assessments will rise when streets have to be repaved, pools repaired and drainage systems fixed. Right now, a study committee of state House members is trying to come up with ways to better balance the individual rights of individual homeowners and the collective rights of homeowners as a group. The review by legislators has included looking at a homeowners’ bill of rights and something called the Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act, which has been adopted in a couple of states. These “model” laws do provide homeowners with recourse to remove especially abusive association boards when the boards refuse to call meetings that could lead to their ouster. But legislators should keep in mind that the laws have been drafted by lawyers who specialize in representing homeowners associations. The lawyers have made sure that they will still get theirs. The laws actually give homeowner associations a right to a “super lien” in a foreclosure proceeding, meaning that they are first in line, getting money owed to them even before a home lender. What legislators need to come to terms with is whether homeowners association should have any right of foreclosure. Should these associations be treated any differently than any other creditor trying to collect a debt? Even if the answer is yes, shouldn’t they be required to meet a pretty high threshold of either debt owed or effort to collect before being allowed to begin foreclosure proceedings?

AN DIEGO — As one of the chief architects of No Child Left Behind, Sandy Kress wishes that when it comes to education reform, President Obama offered more hope and less change. The longtime Democrat wanted the administration to continue George W. Bush’s attempts to hold schools accountable for the academic progress of children typically underserved by the public schools, i.e., Hispanics, AfricanAmericans, English-language learners, and the disadvantaged. A former president of the Dallas school board who is now an Austin-based attorney, Kress initially liked what he saw. Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan were making enemies of teachers unions by suggesting merit pay for good teachers, applauding the firing of bad teachers, and announcing that the administration’s $4.3 billion Race to the Top program would use student test scores to evaluate teachers. Duncan added a scathing and dead-on criticism of the nation’s 1,450 teachers colleges for doing a mediocre job of training future educators. In fact, Obama and Duncan have created an environment through their laser-like focus on teachers where it is now socially acceptable, even in liberal circles, to ask not only how much students are learning and how well schools are performing but also how well teachers are teaching. It’s about time. Since the release of the blockbuster 1955 book, Americans have spent billions trying to figure out “Why Johnny Can’t Read.” But we haven’t spent enough time or money trying to figure out why Johnny’s teacher can’t seem to teach him to read. So far, so good, thought Kress. But then he took a closer look at what the Obama administration has planned for NCLB, which is due to be reauthorized this year. And he considered the impact that those changes would have on efforts to hold teachers and schools accountable for student performance. What Obama is offering, Kress told me, is a watered-down version of education reform that lets most schools off the hook. “I think there is a huge flaw in the blueprint,” Kress said. “And it’s in the part that relates to accountability.” For Kress, making schools accountable means putting them on notice that they’re being watched by the federal government and expected to do a better job of educating minority and disadvantaged students. “That’s why we’re here,” Kress said. “We’re not here for everybody to do great or to solve every problem. The historic role of the federal government, ever since Lyndon Johnson, is that the United States has an interest in disadvantaged students and their success and in closing the achievement gap.” This is where Obama really falls short, Kress contends. One of the president’s big mistakes, he said, is rolling back the involvement of the federal government in favor

of more local control by leaving it to states and school districts to decide how to make progress. You remember local control. That’s the governing principle that essentially handed the power over the system to teachers unions because they contribute so much money to the campaigns of labor-friendly school board members. The unions in turn put the job security of their members ahead of the educational well-being of students, and thus helped put our public schools in bad shape. You see, local control isn’t the solution; it’s one of the problems. According to Kress, an even bigger problem is that while NCLB put pressure on all schools with a certain percentage of minority or disadvantaged students, the Obama plan bears down only on the worst 5 percent of schools. Stay out of that group and you escape scrutiny and can do pretty much what you want. Also, whereas NCLB provided students in failing schools with tutoring and public school choice, the Obama plan discards those remedies. “That’s a huge sellout,” said Kress, “and a problem because, at the end of the day, it’s not like anyone has found a way to fix these schools. But under NCLB, at least there conceptually, there was the idea that, if they can’t fix your school, you could flee your school or you could at least get tutoring that helps you survive.” Kress thinks the result is outrageous and that it turns back the clock on education reform. In light of this, I asked him to grade the Obama administration for its efforts. “I was thinking B-plus until I saw the recommendations,” he said. “Now it goes down to a D-plus.” That’s brutal, but it seems appropriate. After all, Mr. President, accountability starts at the top.

Today’s Prayer In all thy ways acknowledge (God) and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:6 KJV) PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, for Your love and guidance. May we be aware of Your presence and trust and obey You. Amen.

Recent activities by the federal, state and local governments have caused me to ponder this question. For the first time ever, I must disagree with the long-recognized dictionary definitions of this word. Consequently, I have developed my own definition. I present it to you, the readers, for your thoughts: “Government,” to me, is simply a large publicly owned corporation funded (taxes) by you and me as stockholders. We are actually the majority owners — not the CEO (president) or the officers (congress). The corporation must operate within the confines of its charter (the Constitution). The legal department (the Supreme Court) is supposed to ensure that this occurs. To apply this definition to state and local governments, simply substitute the appropriate titles. If the corporation’s CEO or its officers fail to meet our expectations, we the stockholders are free to fire them at the next stockholders’ meeting (election day). I will conclude with the following: I encourage every reader of The Herald to submit letters to the editor on your views. I personally know that letters of a political nature are read, not only locally, but also in Raleigh and Washington, D.C. You may be surprised someday, as I have been on several occasions, to receive a personal call from elected officials thanking you for your views and support or either feeding you a line of BS to justify their actions.

Etheridge took a stand when he voted in favor of health care reform bill To the Editor: Rep. Bob Etheridge took a courageous step when he voted in favor of the the health care reform bill. While polls in his district showed that many were against this legislation, Etheridge took a stand against those special interests that have fought against health care reform for decades. He stood by his conscience and his belief that we should all love our neighbors as ourselves. Americans can now be secure in knowing that if they become unemployed, change jobs, or start a new business, the new health insurance market will keep costs down and provide them with quality affordable options.

this, $93,000 is a hefty number. ... We just want a more detailed explanation.� After his discussion with the three elected officials, Hegwer emailed a letter to all council members and the mayor Monday afternoon stating the reasons for the decision. According to Hegwer, the city was inspected by the state in December and was advised a month later that debris it collected from several years of street sweeping (leaf pick-up) could not be disposed of at the city’s Public Works Service Center, located near City Hall. The audit report, which was included in Hegwer’s e-mail, suggested the debris needed to be removed and taken to a solid

waste landfill by Feb. 18 of this year (the city was granted an extension to July 30). Hegwer said the cost to remove and transport the debris is $43,100, and the landfill disposal fee is approximately $50,000. “There is adequate funding in this year’s budget to complete this project,� Hegwer wrote. Hegwer, who returned to work Monday after two weeks in the hospital for a virus and appendicitis, told The Herald he considered the expenditure something that needed to be done. “We hired somebody to take care of it, and the council didn’t know about,� Hegwer said. “No laws were broken ... but they were concerned with not knowing.� Councilman Charles Taylor included himself among the concerned Monday, saying the city needed “more clarity.� He was more concerned

with what he called the city’s “budget cushion.� “Every department is under-budgeted, and this is the second time in less than a month that we’ve been surprised with a six-figure sum,� Taylor said, referring to the cost for repairs to the city water plant’s clearwell. “We’re in Quarter 4 of this year’s fiscal budget, and we have that much cushion? We need to be tighter with our budgeting.� Taylor was also concerned with the decision to haul debris on Good Friday. “This is a day when our staff is off,� he said. “So why Good Friday?� Gaskins called the timing “shaky,� but said he had no reason to suspect any wrongdoing. Late attempts to reach Olive and Stone were unsuccessful Monday. The City Council will meet at 7 p.m. today at City Hall.

15-year plan. The county pays the most in the beginning, at $1,278,720, and the amount grows smaller almost every year. In May 2025, the interest figure is $135,267.18. In total, the county sees about $3 million in interest savings, Cole said. In choosing the BB&T 15-year plan, the county is eligible for federal reimbursement. The rate is 5.83 percent and is locked in when the board closes on the bonds, Cole said. He added that the county should get federal reimbursement before having to give BB&T the loan payments. If federal reimbursements happen to stop over the course of 15 years, BB&T would allow the county to refinance the package, Cole said, and the county would not have to pay a prepayment penalty. “You can truly get out if this reimbursement stops. We felt like that was safeguard enough to be able to recommend that,� he said. “The government may choose that they

can’t honor these reimbursements anymore. That’s the primary reason we would see as a risk for you all.� Chairman Richard Hayes acknowledged it as something to be aware of, but said it seemed unlikely that they would cancel the reimbursements. Commissioner Linda Shook said she wasn’t as confident. She doubted whether the federal reimbursement would be available much longer, pointing to the current federal spending pattern. Overall, the option provides a sort of safety net for the county, if refinancing becomes necessary, said County Finance Director Lisa Minter. Bill Tatum, chairman of the Lee County Board of Education, spoke in favor of the financing packages presented and said he was pleasantly surprised. “Either of these options are significantly better than the anticipated financing package that I had anticipated as an individual property owner and taxpayer,� Tatum said. “Anytime that we could save $3 million in financing, I would strongly support.� The board approved the resolution accepting the proposal from BB&T and the resolution accepting the findings that there is a need for the financing package. Hayes stressed that a property tax increase should not be necessary. Amy Dalrymple abstained from voting on the resolution accepting the financing package for Lee County High School because she said her husband Tom serves on the BB&T Board of Directors.

Akinosho, Gurwitch and Lilley also mentioned that they support each other in the race. Former board member John Bonardi and current board members Ellen Mangum and Linda Smith agreed on the graduation rate issue, but overall expressed the desire to continue pushing the district’s positives. “I believe in what our schools are doing. I believe in what we’re doing here in Lee County,� Smith said. “I know where we’ve been, I know where we are and I know where we’re going...We are on the right path here.� The 1:1 laptop initiative and the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math program benefit Lee County Schools, she said, and will attract others to the area. “That’s going to bring in the best and the brightest,� she said. The district has a lower per-pupil expenditure than others, even while LCS students outperform students in surrounding counties, Bonardi said. “We’re getting better results while keeping spending low — I call that value,� he said. Mangum said she wants to see the district continue to push the system toward rigorous programs for students. Embracing Lee County’s size is important, too, she said, as students from various schools are able to visit and learn from each other. “These advantages don’t occur in a larger community,� she said. Lilley said she’d like to see more transparency and clarity in the board’s doings, so taxpayers have a better idea where their money is being spent. She hopes to also see an ad hoc committee created for

each school that brings parents together to discuss issues. “You have to have that parent involvement and the ability to understand where those parents are coming from,� she said. Gurwitch called the district’s 70.3 percent graduation rate unacceptable and wants to see greater efforts being made to increase that percentage. “That’s a D by our own grading scale. We need to seek methods that will help us to improve that,� she said. “We need to take positives from what other communities are doing. If all we do is stress the positives...things will never get better.� Atkins said she’d like to see better communication between parents and teachers, and she’s in favor of the return of teacher assistants and the full Academically/Intellectually Gifted program. “Teachers right now feel like they don’t have a cheerleader. They feel like they don’t have anyone on their team,� Atkins said. Akinosho said he often tutors students in his own home because many parents aren’t involved in their child’s education. “I feel like our children deserve better,� Akinosho said. “We cannot just stay with the same old, same old.�

STATE BRIEFS

Ex-aide to Easley pleads not guilty

RALEIGH (AP) — A former aide to ex-North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley pleaded not guilty to dozens of federal corruption charges Monday, setting the stage for a trial that hasn’t been scheduled yet. Ruffin Poole, who once served as special counsel and personal assistant to Easley, replied not guilty eight times in U.S. District Court in Raleigh, as federal Judge Terrence Boyle asked for his plea on 57 counts ranging from bribery to money laundering. Poole did not say anything else during the brief arraignment, and did not respond to reporters’ questions when leaving

the courthouse. The charges stem from accusations that Poole helped move along state permits for coastal housing projects while receiving gifts and making a sizable investment return on two of those subdivisions. His trial could begin as early as April 26, which was the date Boyle set in February, although the judge seemed inclined on Monday to give Poole and his lawyer a little more time. Attorney Joe Zeszotarski had filed motions seeking to delay the start of the trial until August, which Boyle rejected. Zeszotarski said in court that he has to

review more than 50,000 pages of documents, and is aware of more than 30 state witnesses and more than 20 people he wants to call as witnesses for Poole. He’s also trying to find a certified public accountant to help answer federal tax evasion charges that were filed in an updated indictment about two weeks ago. Locating a qualified accountant at the height of tax season is difficult, he told the judge. “I just can’t be ready by April 26,� Zeszotarski said. Federal prosecutors said they’re ready to go by that date, although they had initially suggested a trial date in May. Boyle

said he is leaning toward giving Poole’s defense more time, but time measured in weeks rather than months. He plans to enter an order setting the trial date soon. All the charges against Poole come with maximum punishments of hundreds of years in prison and millions of dollars in fines. Poole was originally indicted in January, after federal grand jurors spent much of 2009 calling witnesses for testimony and documents about activities surrounding Easley and his associates. Easley, a Democrat who left office in January 2009, has not been charged with any crime.

Perdue extends ethics push for boards

RALEIGH (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue on Monday floated a package of reforms she will ask the General Assembly to pass this year as Democrats who run nearly all of state government seek to act against a perception of ethical taint. “I’m not expecting accolades from anybody in the state. We’re just trying to do our jobs and do it the best way we can,� Perdue said of proposals meant to hold all state employees and politicians to higher ethical standards. Her suggestions were backed by legislators of both parties and cleangovernment groups. The House last spring overwhelmingly passed

three bills that would force more high state employees to delay taking lobbying jobs after leaving office, ban elected officials who approve contracts from taking donations from the vendor, and require board and commission appointees to report campaign donations to elected officials who appointed them. The bills are awaiting Senate action. Perdue proposed extending to one year the wait for high-level state employees who want to work for a company or industry they previously regulated, or to become a lobbyist. The pending legislation would require a six-month wait. “Most of what she

proposes is a version of what the House passed about a year ago,� said House Minority Leader Rep. Paul Stam, R-Wake. “Some of these things are just details that have to be worked out.� In 2006, lawmakers passed historic lobbying and ethics legislation amid an intensifying federal probe that ultimately sent former Speaker Jim Black and a former state lottery commissioner to prison. More recently, ethical problems have included federal criminal corruption charges against a former top aide to ex-Gov. Mike Easley. In March, Perdue’s campaign committee announced it was

THIS SPRING I WANT SOMETHING

AFFORDABLE

forfeiting $48,000 in contributions from 2005 to 2008 because her campaign was worried the donors may have been unlawfully reimbursed by their Wilmington employer. Perdue said an executive order she signed Monday will now force the 4,000 holders of state boards and commissions — like those overseeing funeral services and wildlife regulations — to disclose more about their backgrounds, including any past criminal charges or convictions. The governor said she also will ask the General Assembly to turn some of her earlier ethics orders into laws that will have to be obeyed after she leaves office. Those include giving governors the authority to fire appointees who don’t show up at meetings, have been indicted or fail to cooperate with an investigation.

Trial ending for man accused in 5 killings

DURHAM (AP) — Researchers from North Carolina State University are working with the city of Durham to see if manmade islands can reduce nitrogen and phosphorus pollution in ponds. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that 16 of the green fiberglass mats were deployed last week in stormwater retention ponds that drain into a tributary of Falls Lake, a source of water for the city of Raleigh. The mats are about 10 inches thick and can support several people. Wetlands plant sprigs are set into the water through the mats. As the plants grow, the hope is they will draw the excess nitrogen and phosphorus from the water. Water flowing into and out of the ponds will be tested for a year. The entire project will cost about $180,000.

RALEIGH (AP) — Testimony has finished in the murder trial of a man accused of killing five people to cover up a series of robberies in North Carolina. Multiple media outlets report that closing arguments are set for Monday in the case of Samuel J. Cooper, who could face the death penalty if convicted. Both sides agree Cooper shot and killed the five men in 2006 and 2007. But defense attorneys argued that years of physical and emotional abuse by Cooper’s father left him with diminished mental capacity and unable to plan the killings.

Green Berets get new commanding general at Bragg FORT BRAGG (AP) — The Green Berets are getting a new commander at a North Carolina Army post. The Army on Monday named Brig. Gen. Edward M. Reeder Jr. commanding general of the U.S. Army Special Forces Command at Fort Bragg. Reeder is the commander of special operations forces in Afghanistan. Maj. Gen. Rodney O. Anderson was named deputy commanding general of the 18th Airborne Corps based at the post. Anderson is director of Army Force Management in Washington. He previously served with the 82nd Airborne Division, including a stint as its acting commanding general. The release did not say when both generals would arrive at Fort Bragg.

CURRITCK (AP) — A North Carolina county is restoring a two-story brick jail to remember the antebellum past along the state’s coast. The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Va., reported that workers last week finished detaching the old Currituck County jail from the historic county courthouse near the town’s ferry docks. A study estimates renovation costs at about $500,000 depending on the work done and whether the jail is restored to its original 1857 design. Historical architects from Colonial Williamsburg say the jail replaced a wooden lockup that had holes large enough for the prisoners to escape through. The new brick jail was built with walls 3 feet thick and had small barred windows in each of the four rooms so that inmates would get fresh air.

4 shot, 33 arrested in mayhem

NEW YORK (AP) — Hundreds of young people spilled into midtown Manhattan near Times Square early Monday, brawling and shooting guns after the New York International Auto Show in an annual night of mayhem the mayor called “wilding.� Four people were shot and 33 were arrested, mostly on charges of disorderly conduct on the streets not far from the Jacob A. Javits Center, where the auto show is held. Three men and a woman were arrested later Monday on gang assault charges related to one of the shootings, police said. It wasn’t clear whether anyone who fired shots was among those arrested. Another 23 were issued summons for disorderly conduct or were given juvenile reports and released. It’s not clear why the annual event often leads to violence in neighboring areas, but the police department had additional officers on patrol because of problems during past shows dating to 2003, chief spokesman Paul J. Browne said. Last year, there were 27 arrests on the same night. In earlier years arrest numbers ran in the low 20s, Browne said. A teenager was stabbed in a similar

Browne described those arrested Monday as “young men looking for trouble� after the auto show. The fracas rattled businesses near busy districts in Herald Square, as well as nearby Times Square, where an armed street hustler was shot dead by police after exchanging gunfire on the street in December. “You know it’s the cost of doing business,� said Angus McIndoe, owner of the restaurant bearing his name next to Broadway theaters. “It’s not the first time there has been nutty activity in Times Square.� Auto show spokesman Chris Sams said no one stood out as suspi-

cious Sunday at the show, which runs until April 11 and attracts more than 1 million people. “We had an amazing crowd, a very family-oriented crowd. The type of person who makes an auto show great, people listening to the presenters,� he said. Security at the show is tight, and officials work with police, Sams said. Visitors are checked when they arrive. Most of the people arrested were men in their 20s from boroughs other than Manhattan. At least two were known gang members, Browne said; the four people arrested on gang assault charges — three men ages 17 to 23 and a teenage girl — were not believed to have fired any shots,

police said. Mayor Michael Bloomberg described the night’s events as “wilding,� using a word created by the media during the notorious 1989 rape of the woman known as the Central Park jogger. Five men were charged with gang-raping her, but their convictions were thrown out in 2002. “We loaded the area up with police, but they can’t be everywhere,� he said. “We’re not going to tolerate it. ... This is just a bunch of people who shouldn’t be on the streets if they behave this way, and we’re not going to stand for it.� The Manhattan district attorney’s office said 43 defendants were awaiting arraignment, but those included arrests made in other precincts that may be unrelated. It was the second major instance of gunfire in the area in recent months, where police have worked for years to stop petty crimes and hustlers targeting tourists. Police and a street hustler armed with a machine pistol exchanged shots in December in Times Square — shattering a Broadway theater ticket window and scattering crowds — before police fatally shot the man.

Aftershocks rattle US-Mexico border after quake kills 2 MEXICALI, Mexico (AP) — Aftershocks rattled the southwest Mexico-U.S. border on Monday morning in the aftermath of a major earthquake that killed two people, blacked out cities and forced the evacuation of hospitals and nursing homes. Sunday’s 7.2-magnitude quake, centered just south of the U.S. border near Mexicali, was one of the strongest earthquakes to hit region in decades, shaking at least 20 million people. It had a shallow depth of 6 miles (10 kilometers). But the human toll was minimal in large part because the energy from the quake moved northwest of Mexicali toward a less populated area, said Jessica Sigala, a geophysicist from the U.S. Geological Survey.

Priest charged with assaulting girl still working in India ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Top officials at the Vatican were warned more than four years ago about a Catholic priest later charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Minnesota, according to newly released Vatican correspondence, but to this day he continues to work in his home diocese in India. Prosecutors in Minnesota said Monday they are trying to extradite the Rev. Joseph Palanivel Jeyapaul. Jeyapaul denied the abuse allegations and said he has no plans to return to the United States to face the courts. The Vatican said Monday it has cooperated with U.S. law enforcement officials working to extradite Jeyapaul. In a statement to The Associated Press, Vatican attorney Jeffrey Lena said the Holy See handed over the priest’s address in India. He said the Vatican had recommended Jeyapaul be defrocked, because it believed the charges were serious enough, but that his local bishop in India refused. The bishop, the Most Rev. A. Almaraj of the diocese of Ootacamund, said he had disciplined Jeyapaul by sending him to a monastery for prayer.

Sheriff Arpaio has inmates pedal bikes for power PHOENIX (AP) — Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has started a program he calls “Pedal Vision,� in which inmates pedal stationary bikes to generate electricity for television sets. The bikes are customized to turn on connected TV sets once inmates at Phoenix’s Tent City Jail pedal enough to generate 12 volts of electricity. An hour of pedaling equals an hour of television. Arpaio said inmates only will be able to watch television if they choose to pedal. He said he started the program with female inmates because they seemed more receptive. Arpaio said the only exercise female inmates have been getting is speed-walking around the tent yard. He said Pedal Vision gives them a reason to get moving and a way to burn calories.

That dwarfs the previous record: In 2004, General Motors paid a $1 million fine for responding too slowly on a recall of nearly

Toyota faces $16M fine for hiding defect

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government is seeking to fine Toyota a record $16.4 million, accusing the Japanese auto giant of hiding a “dangerous defect� in its slow reporting of faulty gas pedals that have been blamed for unintended sudden accelerations and motorists’ deaths. The proposed fine, announced Monday by Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, is the most the government could levy for the sticking gas pedals that have led Toyota to recall millions of vehicles. There could be further penalties under continuing federal investigations, and Toyota also faces private lawsuits seeking many millions more. Toyota Motor Corp. has recalled more than 6 million vehicles in the U.S., and more than 8 million worldwide, because of acceleration problems in multiple models and braking issues in the Prius hybrid. Documents obtained from the Japanese automaker show that Toyota knew of the problem with the sticking gas pedals in late September but did not issue a recall until late January, LaHood said. The

600,000 vehicles over windshield wiper failure. Toyota did not say whether it would pay the fine. The automaker has two weeks to accept or contest the penalty. “While we have not yet received their letter, we understand that NHTSA has taken a position on this recall,� the company said in a statement, a reference to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. “We have already taken a number of important steps to improve our communications with regulators and customers on safety-related matters as part of our strengthened overall commitment to quality assurance.� The company noted that it has appointed a new chief quality officer for North America and has given its North American office a greater role in making safety-related decisions. Under federal law, automakers must notify NHTSA within five days of determining that a safety

defect exists and promptly conduct a recall. The Transportation Department said the fine it is seeking is specifically tied to the sticking pedal defect and Toyota could face additional penalties if warranted by investigations. The government has linked 52 deaths to crashes allegedly caused by accelerator problems in Toyotas. The recalls have led to congressional hearings, a criminal investigation by federal prosecutors, dozens of lawsuits and an intense review by the Transportation Department. Toyota has attributed the problem to sticking gas pedals and accelerators that can become jammed in floor mats. Dealers have fixed 1.7 million vehicles under recall so far. Consumer groups have suggested electronics could be the culprit, and dozens of Toyota owners who had their cars fixed in the recall have complained of more problems with their vehicles surging forward unexpectedly. Toyota says it has found no evidence of an electrical problem. Reviews of some recent high-profile crashes in San Diego and suburban New York have failed to find either mechanical or electronic problems. In the New York case, a police investigation found that the driver, not the car, was to blame. Following the recalls, the Transportation Department demanded in February that Toyota turn over documents detailing when and how it learned of the problems with sticking accelerators and with floor mats trapping gas pedals.

More good news could help spur hiring WASHINGTON (AP) — Employers holding out for more evidence that the economic recovery is finally taking hold got some Monday: The nation’s service sector is growing quickly, and contracts for home sales are up. The big question is whether the latest encouraging signs will help embolden companies to hire at a faster pace and bring down the unemployment rate. Some economists and corporate executives say it could. And they say they no longer fear a doubledip recession — in which the end of government stimulus money would tip the economy back into contraction. Factories are producing more. Americans are willing to spend more. And the economy added 162,000 jobs last month, the most in nearly three years. “It’s much better news than we would have thought a few months ago,� said Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets. The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group, said its service index rose to 55.4 in March from 53 in February. Any reading above 50 signals expansion. It was the strongest growth since ISM revised how it measured the service sector in January 2008.

Pending home sales rise 8.2 percent in February WASHINGTON (AP) — The housing market is coming back from the winter doldrums.

The number of buyers who agreed to purchase previously occupied homes rose sharply in February, far exceeding expectations, a report said Monday. That’s a sign that a second round of government incentives is pushing buyers to make offers before a deadline at the end of this month. Buyers may also be motivated by worries that mortgage rates will climb later this year. The National Association of Realtors said Monday its seasonally adjusted index of sales agreements rose 8.2 percent from January to a February reading of 97.6. January’s reading was revised slightly downward to 90.2. A reading of 100 is equal to the level of sales activity in 2001, when the index started.

US plans broader nuclear arms talks with Russians WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is poised to adopt a new policy potentially restricting the nation’s use of nuclear arms, U.S. officials said, and hopes to persuade Russia to agree to mutual cuts in nuclear arsenals that go beyond the arms treaty both sides will sign this week. A policy review, expected to be released Tuesday, is likely to include language reducing U.S. reliance on nuclear weapons for its national defense. That reflects President Barack Obama’s pledge to move toward a nuclear free world, and could strengthen U.S. arguments that other countries should either reduce stockpiles of nuclear weapons or forego developing them.

REDSKINS HOPING MCNABB MAKES IMPACT WASHINGTON (AP) — When Mike Shanahan was introduced as Washington Redskins coach, he said he hated to use the word rebuilding even though he was taking over a 4-12 team. With the acquisition of Donovan McNabb from the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles, Shanahan and new general manager Bruce Allen have made it clear they are trying to make a quick turnaround in Washington. “That definitely sent a message,” said 32-year-old center Casey Rabach, who re-signed with the Redskins in March. “This isn’t about rebuilding. This is about going out to win games now. At this stage of my career, that’s exciting.” Prior to trading for McNabb, the Redskins had signed eight players in free agency. All of them will be at least 30 by November 11. This is no youth movement.

From staff reports INDIANAPOLIS — Duke’s ‘Big 3’ — Kyle Singler, Jon Scheyer and Nolan Smith — were the main reasons why the Blue Devils were leading the Butler Bulldogs at halftime of the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship Monday night. At the half, the No. 1 seed Blue Devils held a 33-32 lead over the No. 5 seed Bulldogs. The final results of the title game were not available at presstime. For a complete game report, visit www.sanfordherald.com. Smith, Scheyer and Singler combined for 26 of Duke’s first half points with Singler and Smith leading the way with nine apiece. For Butler, Avery Jukes led the Bulldogs with 10 points off the bench and Shelvin Mack had eight. Butler outrebounded Duke 21-17 in the first half and limited the Blue Devils to just three offensive board. The Bulldogs also limited the Blue Devils to a 3-for10 3-point performance through 20 minutes of play.

BASEBALL OBAMA’S HISTORIC FIRST PITCH HIGH AND WIDE WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama threw it very high and wide, but at least he didn’t bounce it. The president marked a 100year tradition when he tossed out the ceremonial first pitch at the Washington Nationals home opener against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. He received a loud ovation from the packed crowd, with a few boos scattered in. He sported a Nationals jacket and cap from his favorite team, the Chicago White Sox. One hundred years ago this month, President William Howard Taft led off the Washington baseball tradition with a toss from the stands to pitcher Walter Johnson.

SPORTS FBI PROBES THREATS AGAINST ERIN ANDREWS NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — The Norfolk office of the FBI is investigating death threats against ESPN sportscaster and “Dancing With the Stars” contestant Erin Andrews, indicating they may have originated in that state. Norfolk FBI spokesman Phil Mann said Monday that no arrests have been made. He declined to comment on a report by the celebrity gossip site TMZ that the e-mails were sent from someone in Newport News. Andrews’ attorney Marshall Grossman said last week that since September at least a dozen e-mails have been sent to a media outlet threatening his client. He said the messages discuss the case of Michael David Barrett, who was sentenced last month to 21⁄2 years in federal prison for secretly shooting nude videos of Andrews.

tanooga, Tenn. Both on and off the field, the Cavaliers enjoyed their experience. “We had an absolute blast,” said Burnett. “The coaches had fun, the parents and more importantly, the kids had fun. We had just as much fun off the field as we did on it. It was a great thing for this team to experience.”

Burnett wanted his team to bond with one another during this trip. With the various activities the Cavaliers did off the field, Burnett feels that his goal was accomplished. “We went on a ghost tour of downtown Chattanooga and explored all the haunted places,” said Burnett. “We also went bowling as a team, which became

really competitive. We also had a pizza eating contest at CiCi’s, which also became extremely competitive. The team had such a great time with each other. It was great to see that.” On the field, Burnett was fairly pleased with what he saw from the Cavaliers. Their only loss in

tiger talks

Tiger says he expects to win in Augusta By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer AUGUSTA, Ga. — While acknowledging he made some “incredibly poor decisions” in his personal life, Tiger Woods still thinks he can win the Masters — even coming back from a five-month layoff. “Nothing’s changed,” Woods said Monday during an extraordinary 35minute news conference at Augusta National. “I’m going to go out there and try to win this thing.” In his first full-fledged session with the media since his life fell apart,

Woods entered the interview room with a smile on his face and stopped to hug one of the green-jacketed club members, Ron Townsend. Woods again took full blame for his personal failings, but stopped short of providing many new details. He wouldn’t say why he entered rehab for 45 days nor would he go into specifics about his infamous Thanksgiving night car crash, other than to say it took five stitches to close a lip wound. “All I know is I acted just terribly,”

SPORTS SCENE

Jackson celebrates 32nd birthday in tons of pain CHARLOTTE (AP) — Stephen Jackson was flat on his stomach on a mat near the practice court as the Bobcats finished Monday’s workout without him. Charlotte’s leading scorer had just received treatment for his sore left hamstring. His right elbow was throbbing, his left hand was still sore and he had some ankle pain, too. Not the ideal way to spend your 32nd birthday. “I feel like I’m older than that,� Jackson said. Jackson started laughing, but his multiple injuries are creating concerns as the Bobcats (40-36) still have work to do to clinch the franchise’s first playoff berth. “Hopefully, we get that luxury to get in and I’ll be able to rest a game or two,� Jackson said. “But right now we’ve got to try to continue win and win out.� Charlotte would be in much better playoff shape if it had held on to a six-point, fourth-quarter lead Saturday in Chicago. But with Jackson unable to play in the final period, the Bobcats struggled down

Marcum’s no-hit bid ends in seventh ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Shaun Marcum took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning on opening day for Toronto before the Texas Rangers rallied for a 5-4 win Monday on Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s RBI single in the bottom of the ninth. Texas scored twice in the ninth off Blue Jays closer Jason Frasor (0-1). Michael Young, the longest-tenured Texas player in his 10th season, had a leadoff double before Josh Hamilton took a called third strike. Vladimir Guerrero then had an infield single, though second baseman Aaron Hill made a diving stab deep behind the base to keep the tying run from scoring. White Sox 6, Indians 0 CHICAGO (AP) — Mark Buehrle pitched three-hit ball over seven innings and Paul Konerko got his 12th season in Chicago off to a good start with a two-run homer in the first inning. Buehrle simply shut down the Indians, spoiling Cleveland manager Manny Acta’s debut and Jake Westbrook’s first start in nearly two years. Tigers 8, Royals 4 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Johnny Damon and Brandon Inge drove in two runs apiece in a six-run seventh inning against Kansas City’s shaky bullpen and the Detroit Tigers rallied for an 8-4 victory Monday. Earlier on the wind-swept opening day, Yuniesky Betancourt’s two-run home run and Billy Butler’s bases-loaded single staked Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke to a 4-2 lead over Justin Verlander in a duel between two of baseball’s premier starters.

Heyward’s 3-run bomb helps Braves rout Cubs ATLANTA (AP) — Jason Heyward hit like The Hammer in his Atlanta Braves debut. Minutes after catching the ceremonial first pitch from Hank Aaron, Heyward hit a three-run homer in his first major league at-bat to spark the Braves to a 16-5 opening win Monday over Carlos Zambrano and the Chicago Cubs. Heyward, who had a runscoring single in the eighth, was 2-for-5 with four RBIs. Yunel Escobar drove in a career-high five runs as Zambrano gave up eight runs in 1 1-3 innings, matching the shortest of 239 career starts. Phillies 11, Nationals 1 WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama was high and wide. Roy Halladay was right on target — as always. The Phillies backed their new ace with plenty of power, too. Placido Polanco hit a grand slam, Ryan Howard also homered, and Halladay struck out nine over seven innings in his National League debut as the Phillies opened the season Monday afternoon with an 11-1 rout of the Washington Nationals.

Cardinals 11, Reds 6 CINCINNATI (AP) — Albert Pujols and his St. Louis Cardinals didn’t need much help from Big Mac. The National League’s MVP went 4 for 5 and hit two of a team-record four homers on opening day Monday. Yadier Molina completed the Cardinals’ first fourhomer opening game with a grand slam in the ninth. Only two other Cardinals have hit slams in season openers — Scott Rolen and Mark McGwire. Rockies 5, Brewers 3 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Ubaldo Jimenez stayed out of big trouble with his 99 mph fastball and Ian Stewart homered on his birthday. Jimenez gave up a run and struck out six in six innings. The Rockies won the matchup between the last two NL wild-card teams. Pirates 11, Dodgers 5 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Garrett Jones homered in his first two at-bats, pinch-hitter Ryan Church doubled home three runs and Pittsburgh started the new season the way it wound down 2009 by roughing up the Dodgers. The Pirates, coming off a

record-setting 17th consecutive losing season, won on opening day for the fourth season in a row as Ryan Doumit added a three-run homer in the eighth off reliever George Sherrill. Doumit also doubled and scored twice. Mets 7, Marlins 1 NEW YORK (AP) — David Wright hit a two-run homer, Johan Santana pitched six effective innings and the Mets finally solved Josh Johnson. Newcomers Jason Bay, Rod Barajas and Gary Matthews Jr. each got two hits for New York, which improved to a major leaguebest 32-17 (.653) on opening day. Manager Jerry Manuel also got three scoreless innings from his beleaguered bullpen, which he said was his biggest concern entering the season. Cameron Maybin struck out swinging three times and Florida committed three errors during the Mets’ fourrun sixth. Johnson allowed four runs and five hits over five-plus innings in his first opening-day start, dropping to 7-1 with a 2.69 ERA in 10 career starts against New York.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Mark McGwire got little reaction when he got back on the field. The St. Louis Cardinals’ new batting coach jogged onto the field wearing his old No. 25 for introductions before Monday’s opener against Cincinnati. Manager Tony La Russa and the Cardinals’ nine starters were introduced by name — NL MVP Albert Pujols got the most boos. The rest of the Cardinals players and the coaches then jogged onto the field together and lined up without their names mentioned. There was little reaction from the fans. McGwire acknowledged during the offseason that he used steroids and human growth hormone during his career, including 1998 when he broke the season home run record.

Source: Beckett signs through 2014 BOSTON (AP) — A baseball official says Josh Beckett has signed a $68-year contract extension with the Boston Red Sox that runs through the end of the 2014 season. The official spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the deal was not scheduled to be announced until later Monday. Beckett won World Series with Boston and Florida is entering the final year of a three-year, $30 million extension that began after he went 16-11 in his first season with the Red Sox in 2006. Beckett will earn $17 million a year in his new deal. He pitched the opener for the Red Sox on Sunday night, allowing five runs on eight hits in 4 2-3 innings.

Brewers talking with Fielder on extension MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brewers owner Mark Attanasio says the club is still talking to slugger Prince Fielder about a longterm extension. But Attanasio says he and general manager Doug Melvin

will not give day-to-day updates about negotiations with Fielder’s agent, Scott Boras, because they don’t want it to pose a distraction to the star first baseman. Fielder signed a two-year contract that ends this season, but he won’t be eligible for free agency until after the 2011 season. He hit .299 with 46 homers and 141 RBIs last year. Melvin said Monday that the team has plenty of time to sign Fielder to a long-term deal.

Strawberry concerned by Gooden’s troubles

NEW YORK (AP) — Darryl Strawberry’s excitement over throwing out the ceremonial first pitch for the New York Mets on opening day was contained by his concern for troubled friend Dwight Gooden. “I’m just praying for him and his family,� Strawberry said Monday before the Mets hosted the Florida Marlins. Gooden was arrested March 23 for driving under the influence of drugs, leaving the scene of an accident and child endangerment in New Jersey. It was the latest in a long series of personal failures that began with his suspension for testing positive for cocaine in 1987, when he and Strawberry were an imposing duo on the defending World Series champion Mets.

Staubach impresses Ryan with Rangers first pitch ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Roger Staubach’s pitch impressed Nolan Ryan. Staubach, the two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, threw out the first pitch at the Texas Rangers’ season opener Monday. Staubach threw a fastball over the plate. Ryan, a Hall of Fame pitcher who’s now the Rangers’ president, says it was one of the “best first pitches� he’s ever seen and believes Staubach “holding back.�

Woods thanked his fellow golfers for the support he’s received since announcing his return to the PGA Tour and said he was pleasantly surprised how well the fans treated him during a practice round Monday.

The people here over the years, I know they’ve been extremely respectful.

“If you look at that first game, I thought we played fairly well despite some of the flukey rules,” said Burnett. “We were pretty worn down from our bus ride there but I thought we played fairly well. I thought we played as united as a team can be and that made this entire experience worth it.” Since the Cavaliers are not scheduled to play again until April 12 when Scotland County comes to town, Burnett excused his players from practice on Monday and Tuesday to get rested. “They deserve this time off to rest and heal,” said

Burnett. “They gave up their spring break for this trip so they really deserve some time off.” With the trip and the first half of the season over with, Burnett feels real encouraged about the remainder of the season. The Cavaliers will pick back up with Cape Fear Valley Conference play on April 16 against Westover. “We’ve closed the book on the first half of the season now and I’m very pleased with everything,” said Burnett. “With as close and as tight knit as this team is, I’m pretty confident that this team can come out and make a run.”

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 58-year-old woman who has been married 40 years. I married at 18, put my husband through school and raised three children. We have now been separated five years, after I found out that my husband had had numerous affairs. The last one lasted three years and I had no idea. During his last affair, he had the woman in our home and told her personal things about me. He lied and told her we were getting a divorce. We have not divorced. Financially it would be hard. I can’t seem to get over the pain and hurt. He still calls to see if I am OK. I continually visualize him with the other women. Thirty-five years is a long time, and he’s the only man I have ever known. I want to get over him, but it’s hard. I now work full-time. My husband constantly sought women who admired his power and status in the community. I don’t think I can ever get over his hurting me so. I tried counseling. It didn’t work. He continues to call, which keeps me hanging. Should I break all ties? Is that what’s holding me back? — SAD IN OHIO DEAR SAD: Let me talk to you like a friend and offer a suggestion: Talk to an attorney. After 40 years of marriage to a man with “power and status,” one wealthy enough to afford serial “cookies” on the side, he must have accumulated enough assets that you shouldn’t have to

If you availed yourself of some of the assets to which you may be entitled, you might have enough to get more counseling and do some traveling, which might help to lessen your unhappiness. THEN you can decide whether or not to break all ties. o DEAR ABBY: With graduation announcements pouring in every day from everyone whom I have ever known who has a child graduating, I think I have seen a new low.

My son died at the age of 16 following an auto accident. Among the feelings I was having was guilt that he didn’t get to go to Italy with his Latin class the spring before his death because I couldn’t afford it. Now, he would never get to go. One day after returning to work, I was getting into my car and noticed a coin on the seat. I picked it up and was shocked to see it was an Italian lira! I took that as a sign that he DID get to see Italy, and I keep it in the frame with his picture. — CHRISTOPHER’S MOM IN EVANSVILLE, IND. DEAR MOM: Please accept my sympathy for the tragic loss of your son. The coin was sent to comfort you, and I’m glad it served its purpose of tempering your feelings of guilt and loss.

Jordanian paper’s April Fool’s UFOs spark panic

Ohio boy, 8, takes family van for gas, crashes

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — A Jordanian newspaper’s April Fool’s Day report chronicling a late-night visit by 10foot-tall aliens in flying saucers sparked public panic and almost led to the town’s emergency evacuation, officials said Monday. The Al Ghad newspaper published a front-page article April 1 about the fake UFO landing near the desert town of Jafr, some 185 miles (300 kilometers) from the capital, Amman. The report said the UFOs lit up the whole town, interrupted communications and sent fearful residents streaming into the streets. Jafr’s mayor, Mohammed Mleihan, got caught up in the paper’s prank and said he sent security authorities in search of the aliens. “Students didn’t go to school, their parents were frightened and I almost evacuated the town’s 13,000 residents,” Mleihan told The Associated Press. “People were scared that aliens would attack them.” A Jordanian security official, speaking on condition of anonymity in order to discuss security issues, said an emergency plan was almost enacted in Jafr. Mleihan said he may sue the daily for its “big lie,” but added that the paper had called to apologize for the inconvenience caused by the joke. Al Ghad’s managing editor, Moussa Barhoumeh, tried to defuse the situation, saying the report has been “blown out of proportion.” “We meant to entertain, not scare people,” he said.

BETHEL, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man says his 8-year-old son was just trying to do him a favor and get gasoline when the boy drove the family’s minivan and crashed it. James Crouch says he didn’t even realize his son, Jordan, was out of the house Friday morning until a Clermont County sheriff’s deputy came to the family’s home in Bethel and woke him up to let him know what happened. The boy says he used keys that he found in his mother’s purse and backed the car out of the driveway. He started going down the road at about 5 mph but could barely reach the pedals and lost control, crashing into a telephone pole. He wasn’t hurt.

Equal time: Women hold topless march in Maine PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — About two dozen women drew a crowd of onlookers when they shed their shirts and marched downtown in Maine’s largest city to promote what they call equal-opportunity public toplessness. Organizer Ty MacDowell said the point of Saturday’s march in Portland was that a topless woman out in public shouldn’t attract any more attention than a man who walks around without a shirt. The Portland Press Herald reports that by the end of the march, more than 500 people had amassed — a mix of marchers, young men snapping photos, oglers and people just out enjoying a sunny, warm day.

God work’s requires financial support Q: It seems like every few months our pastor preaches on stewardship (which is a polite way of making us feel guilty because we don’t give more money to the church). Frankly, I get tired of it, and so do lots of other people. Should someone tell him, or should we just suffer in silence? -- F.W. A: If you feel strongly about this, I suggest you talk with him -- or perhaps with someone who serves on your church’s budget committee -- about your concern. Your pastor may not realize how some people are reacting, and he needs to know. However, if you do this I hope you’ll be open to listening to his side, because he (or the budget committee) may see things you don’t see about your church and its needs (and also its opportunities). Remember: God’s work requires financial support; even Jesus’ little band of disciples needed people to support them financially so they could continue their ministry (see Luke 8:2-3). I can’t help but wonder, however, if your real problem may be something deeper -- and that is the place money has in your life. Money can be our servant, but it also can be our master -- and when it is, we aren’t seeing it from God’s point of view. God gave our money to us; we can’t take credit for either the abilities or the opportunities He gave us to earn it. The Bible puts it this way: “Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand” (1 Chronicles 29:14).
